Chapter 106: Disappointment
Cao Xin carried a pot of wine and knocked on Gongsun Changming's door.
Gongsun Changming, who was holding a book in his hand, opened the door, looked at Cao Xin, then looked at the wine in his hand, and smiled and said, "What? I haven't drunk it yet? I can't sleep and run to me to find a drinker?"
Cao Xin squeezed into the door sideways, put the wine pot on the table with a thud, and looked at Gongsun Changming and said, "Mr. Gongsun, don't pretend to be confused with me, I don't believe you can sleep?"
Gongsun Changming sneered: "Why can't I sleep? Tell you, I feel at ease, can you snore when you fall on the bed?"
Cao Xin looked at Gongsun Changming for a while, but nodded unexpectedly: "Mr. I'm right, what's wrong? Among our group, you really have nothing to be afraid of."
Gongsun Changming picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Cao Xin, "It turns out that you didn't come to me to drink, you were here to hide!"
"Who said no!" Cao Xin sighed and drank the cup: "I asked someone to go out quietly to inquire. The city was indeed blocked, and Suning and Li Che are not in the city now. Do you know Mr. Gongsun? I'm cold all over now. I've sent someone out of the city, but I can't say whether I can go out. I saw that Li Anmin sent someone out."
"Where is the Jiedushi?" Gongsun Changming poured himself a cup and poured himself into his own drink.
"The Jiedushi didn't react, but I saw You Yong a little restless." Cao Xin said: "Mr. Gongsun, tell me what happened to the Jiedushi? Can't he see what You Yong can see?"
"He's old!" Gongsun Changming laughed and said, "Maybe he understood it, but he was lying to himself, like a bird burying his head in the sand, pretending to know nothing. How could it be if it were Li Anguo back then?"
Cao Xin was worried: "As long as tonight is safe, I will go back to Yizhou immediately." As he said this, Cao Xin felt a little unbelievable. If something really happened, it would definitely be tonight.
"Don't worry, go back to sleep with your big head. I dare to promise you that there is nothing wrong today!" Gongsun Changming said disapprovingly.
Cao Xin was immediately excited. Gongsun Changming was not an ordinary person. Since he was so sure, he naturally had something to rely on.
"Mr. Gongsun is so sure that nothing will happen? I think Suning is clearly ready to take the overlord. The performance he performed in front of the Jiedushi was too bad." Cao Xin said: "Why did he believe the Jiedushi say a word?"
"It's not because of Suning, but because of Li Che!" Gongsun Changming curled his lips, "Suning is a very simple person, much simpler than you Cao Xin. The worms in his belly can be seen clearly by you old foxes. If it was him alone, or if it was him, then there must be something tonight. Unfortunately, it was Li Che who took the lead."
Cao Xin blinked his eyes and looked at Gongsun Changming, not getting angry because Gongsun Changming just defamed him without any mercy. Of course, these words can also be regarded as praise.
"In the past few years, Mr. Li has been working hard to cultivate Li Che and hand over the power of the army to Li Che little by little. Everyone understands what he meant. Li Che did a pretty good job and had already received the support of the soldiers in the army. This time, the two thousand soldiers from Zhenzhou who were transferred to Shenzhou can also be said to be Li Che's confidant. Without Li Che's consent, Suning would not do anything." Gongsun Changming said. "Suning will definitely go to Li Che and advise Li Che to stay away from work, but Li Che is definitely not brave enough. So, relying on Suning alone will be a big deal? It's delayed until the second half of the night, you or Li Anmin's people will find a way out of the city. Once your soldiers are on guard, Suning will have no chance."
Cao Xin's eyes slowly regained his spirit and he chuckled: "Mr. Gongsun is so unfavorable to the eldest son?"
Gongsun Changming sighed: "If he had started to act decisively today, overturned him, seized the position of the governor of Chengde, and raised his son high up to serve as a Bodhisattva, then I would have accepted him as a disciple immediately. In this chaotic world, a disciple who could make a quick decision and be cruel will be hard to come by in this chaotic world. Unfortunately, he can't do it."
"Sir, what if the young master from Wuyi was changed?" Cao Xin smiled strangely.
Gongsun Changming poured a glass of wine, raised it to his lips, and looked at Cao Xin with a smile: "If it were that person, maybe your Cao Xin's head would be hung on the city wall and now your soldiers would either surrender or escape in scattered."
Cao Xin laughed.
"So, I will really support the eldest son firmly in the future, at least my head will not fall out for no reason."
Gongsun Changming drank all the wine and asked with a smile: "Is that right?"
Looking at Gongsun Changming's sarcastic eyes, Cao Xin sighed: "I can't hide it from you. I'm really conflicted now. You said that if the eldest son really moves, I have a great chance of my life today. But if the eldest son is as ruthless as Mr. analyzed, I feel that the future is dark!"
Listening to Cao Xin's contradictory words, Gongsun Changming laughed.
"Sir, don't laugh." Cao Xin looked distressed: "This troubled times are approaching, and anyone can tell that. Even if we really suppressed Zhang Zhongwu this time, there will be no safe life next time. I'm afraid it will be a big fight every three days and a small fight every two days. In the future, the governors of the world, if you beat me, I will beat you, you will probably become a common occurrence. Big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp. Who knows what the future will be like? Mr. Gongsun, tell me, if our leader is not solid, are we even less stable?"
Gongsun Changming held back his laughter and nodded, "It's not very stable. Because the first thing that will be done is you guys."
Cao Xin glared at Gongsun Changming and said, "This is something that concerns my wealth and life. Why can Mr. Gongsun laugh?"
"It's not your business, just hold on!" Gongsun Changming said seriously.
Cao Xin sighed and stood up: "Although the gentleman was sure, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. If Mr. Jiyan had spent tonight safely, I would leave Shenzhou and go back tomorrow."
He lifted his robe, and Gongsun Changming was surprised to see that inside him was actually wearing armor, but he didn't pay attention to it before.
"Mr. Gongsun, if something really happens, Cao will not be easy to mess with. First, burn the Shenzhou Governor's Mansion to see if he can escape in the chaos. You also know that I, Cao, have never been known for my force, but among the many powerful generals under the command of the Jiedushi, I still have a few tricks to save my life, but I will not care about you at that time. You, please be blessed. Liang Han is not by your side, and with your two short legs, I am afraid I won't run far."
Gongsun Changming spat, "Go back to sleep with your big head, and go back to your Yizhou tomorrow with energy."
Cao Xin bowed his hand, turned around and walked out speechlessly.
Gongsun Changming stood up, opened the window, and looked out the window, the entire governor's mansion was dark, except for the angrily storm at the eaves, which emitted a faint light, but wherever it shone, it was only a few feet away. The quiet governor's mansion in Shenzhou was really surging at this moment. Not only Cao Xin, but even Li Anmin was already ready to respond.
Mr. Li, are you really confused or fake?
Gongsun Changming sighed, blew out the lights, and lay on the bed with his clothes.
The moon is dark and windy night, and it is the sky of killing and setting fire? I wonder what choice will the eldest son make? Will he be surprised?
Outside the city of Shenzhou, in the military camp.
Li Che looked at his fully armed uncle Suning standing in front of him in horror.
"Uncle, are you crazy?"
Suning looked at Li Che and said sternly: "Che'er, I'm not crazy. I'm very clear-headed. Today is the best opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no such store."
"Uncle, do you actually want my father?" Li Che said annoyed.
"It's not necessary to kill him. After taking him off, you can put him under house arrest and provide for him, so that he can live a good life with your mother in the back house from now on! Would I hope my sister will become a widow?" Suning said angrily.
"Uncle, why do you do this?"
"Che'er, haven't you seen your father just perfunctory me today?" Suning sneered: "Everyone knows that Suning is simple in mind, but people who are simple in mind can sometimes simplify very complex things when looking at problems. He is just lying to us. If he immediately ordered Cao Xin to return to Yizhou to destroy the bastard, then I won't say anything, hehe, but what is his attitude? What is that bastard like now? He was willing to surrender with his words and let him deal with it? When the battle is over, can I still take my troops to Yizhou to destroy the bastard? Is it possible?"
"Uncle, the future is long, and I have time to deal with that little bastard."
Suning sighed: "Uncle is worried. That beast is very capable. Lao Chu has been with me for many years. This time he fell into his hands inexplicably. Four hundred soldiers, and there is no sound without making any sound. Over time, I still don't know what tricks this little beast can play. Every day, his strength will be stronger. Didn't you see Cao Xin's current attitude ambiguous? Didn't you see Li Anmin want to watch the show? Che'er, the only one who really supports you unconditionally is me, your uncle."
"Uncle, I know you are good to me." Li Che held Suning's hand and said gratefully: "I will definitely be nice to you in the future, but you must not ask me to send troops to murder my father now. As long as you take action, Lu Long will not be able to fight this battle."
"I'm confused. What does it matter whether Lu Long fights or not. Now is the opportunity to take down Li Anmin and Cao Xin in one go, and hold the entire Chengde firmly into your own hands. To achieve this goal, it's worth not to fight this battle."
"Uncle, then we Chengde will be in civil turmoil. Zhaozhou and Yizhou will fight with us first." Li Che shook his head firmly. "Uncle, we must never do this. You go back now, I just think that nothing happened."
Suning looked at Li Che in disappointment: "Che'er, one day, you will definitely regret today's decision."
